Kamisato Ayato Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Kamisato Ayato is a 5-star Hydro Sword character from Inazuma who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Kamisato Ayato grants bonus CRIT DMG, complementing a stat priority of Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG. For the Low-Ping Hydro Main DPS setup, equip Echoes of an Offering (The Lost Valley) with ATK% Sands, Hydro DMG Bonus Goblet, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet. Haran Geppaku Futsu (CRIT Rate) is the top recommended weapon, while Amenoma Kageuchi serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

The Echoes of an Offering artifact set should only be used if players have a low ping to Genshin Impact servers. This is because the chance of triggering the 4pc effect gradually gets more inconsistent the higher the ping is. With a constant green ping, found on the top right, this build has the bigger potential to deal more damage than the Heart of Depth set.
